Chapter 2186 - Busy (1) (1/2)

”Ah, almost forgot something.”

Dyon's footsteps suddenly paused. Even as he did, numerous light sources shone down on the once enclosed area. It didn't take much thought to understand what was happening at all.

These were all great geniuses of their Clans, how could they not each be given Life Saving Jades?

Dyon didn't fancy himself to be a mass murderer, but he would certainly teach those who deserved it a lesson. He wouldn't mind allowing True God Star and the numerous who spoke against him a chance to live. After all, those who spoke out were nothing but sheep not worth his time, while, at the very least, even if he was sc_u_m, True God Star sacrificed his own wife before daring to ask others to do the same. In a sort of twisted way, he had a small bit of character.

But… Terren? Anyone who dared look upon his wives with such thoughts deserved nothing but death.

”[Raze]. [Accelerate]. [Accelerate]. [Shrink].”

Terren's body had only just begun to reform, his consciousness still very much intact. He couldn't believe what had just happened to him, but the reality was right before them all. It couldn't be denied.

A Life Saving Jade had the ability to rewind time in a very finite space, rebuilding the body of a deceased genius. But, this was only one aspect. If this genius was just reborn in the same place he or she died, wouldn't they just die again?

So, Life Saving Jades also had the ability to transport those it wanted to protect to the nearest and safest location. But, who would have guessed that this reality would seal Terren's Fate?

To a sprite, what place could possibly be safer than the Sprite Alliance capital?

Terren couldn't even react before his head was shattered like a watermelon taken to a sledgehammer. Dyon, of course, had the ability to kill him painlessly. But why would he bother with such a thing?

”He… Really killed him…” Cal almost fell backward. If it wasn't for the Oracle Sprite youth who didn't want to be fallen upon, he would have.

The first death hadn't impacted him so severely, but the second… it was as though loud sonorous bells were ringing in his mind.

”WHO DARES?!”

A shimmering projection wafted into existence. It had taken much longer to manifest than normal because the energy fluctuations around so many Life Saving Jades activating at once had interfered with the normal process. By the time he managed to do so, he could only watch as a great genius of his clan was coldly slain before him.

Terren might not have been the best genius of their Earthen Sprites, but he was still ranked within the top few dozen. This was enough to make him both incredibly valuable to the Alliance itself, but especially so to the Clan he was birthed from. His death was as good as losing a future pillar!

This matter was even more important in this generation due to the soon incoming Ancient Battlefield descent.
